Genetic Disease
Genetic diseases are disorders stemming from mutations in an individual's DNA sequence. These conditions can be a result of mutations in a single or multiple genes. An example of a genetic disease is cystic fibrosis: an inherited, progressive disease that affects the respiratory system.
